Appraisers - Processing
The Appraisers page provides a list of active FHA-approved appraisers based on location, appraiser name, or license number (see also field descriptions for the following pages: Appraisers, Appraisers List). To request a list of FHA-approved appraisers, perform the following steps:

Requesting an Appraisers List

  1. On the Appraisers page, specify the order of your results by selecting one of the choices in the Sorted By drop-down list.  Results are presented in alphabetical order, A-Z, or numerical order, 0-9.

  2. Then enter at least one of the following requirements.

    Note: Where indicated, you may enter partial information (one or more characters) to retrieve records (appraiser listing) that correspond with the entered criteria, e.g., entering "P" in the City field retrieves all appraisers in cities that begin with "P." If multiple fields allow a partial entry and partial information is entered, all specified criteria are searched and only matching information is retrieved/displayed.

    State: Select the state in which the appraiser is licensed from the drop-down list. If All States is selected, an additional requirement such as a specific Last Name must be entered.
    License: Type the full or partial identifying code for a specific FHA-approved appraiser or a list of appraisers with similar identification numbers. The first two letters of the appraiser ID correspond to the state in which the appraiser is licensed.
    Last Name: Type a full or partial appraiser last name.
    First Name: Type a full or partial appraiser first name.
    City: Type a full or partial city name for the business location of the appraiser(s).
    Zip Code: Type a full or partial zip code for the business location of the appraiser(s).
